Warp Drive

[Moontanman]

Warp Drive as in the Alcubierre version suggests faster than light speeds are possible, would time dilation still be a factor in that type of FTL?

Depends, you are literally warping space, so in those warped areas, yes. In the bubble it creates, i do not think.

Remember that negative mass is required for this drive.

I am working on a theory for this if you are interested in more about how this works. c:

In the Alcubierre drive, the area where the ship is is flat. There's no time dilation; the clock ticks the same as it would in deep space.

Very interested in how this works, especially at less than light speeds...

Pm me if you would like to know more.

Hmmm... Is this a theory that assumes motion is not continuous?
